from a job interview at that company that starts with a G (and ends in oogle)

I had to sign an NDA three times as long as my resume just to get in. Looking back I don’t think the questions they asked were NDA-worthy, but them’s the breaks. One hour in Japanese went pretty well, then one hour in English kind of horribly (SHOCK). I wasted a lot of time fumbling around with a problem that would’ve been trivial if I had five minutes to think about it by myself, but thinking out loud while being watched is apparently not my cup of tea. (Then I got stumped on a slightly harder one, too…)
